Kristin Cavallari is championing the power of “self-talk” as a remedy for battling negative thoughts about body image, a struggle she knows all too well.

On the November 4th episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest,” Cavallari, 38, opened up about her personal experiences with body image issues. “Growing up, I constantly had this negative loop in my head telling me I wasn’t good enough,” she confessed. “I always felt a bit overweight, especially living by the beach where many high school girls seemed to have perfect bodies.”

Reflecting on her teenage years, Cavallari shared how she often felt she carried “a few extra pounds,” particularly around her “belly,” which was a source of great self-consciousness for her. She recalled filming scenes for Laguna Beach during her junior year of high school, where she would strategically place her purse in front of her stomach to avoid showing it on camera.

Despite her busy life as a business mogul and mother of three, Cavallari maintains an uncomplicated approach to her diet. In a recent exclusive with Us Weekly, the 36-year-old founder of Uncommon James shared that she sticks to a clean diet while at home in Tennessee, keeping her meals simple and grass-fed whenever possible.

Kristin Cavallari has a lot to juggle as a business mogul and mother of three — but when it comes to her diet plan, she doesn’t worry about much. The Uncommon James founder, 36, exclusively revealed in the newest issue of Us Weekly that she keeps her diet clean when she’s home in Tennessee. “Grass-fed […]

Cavallari explained that it’s “crazy” to still be thinking about those past insecurities, but noted, “When we have these thoughts and we’ve had them for years it’s really hard to change.”

The Uncommon James founder said that she now feels “the best I’ve ever felt in my body,” but her newfound confidence hasn’t completely quieted the negative voices in her head.

“I still work really hard in the gym. I eat really well. I hardly ever drink alcohol. I test all my hormones and my vitamin levels and my gut. I do all of the things,” Cavallari said. “I think I look the best I ever have. That’s not me bragging.”

She pointed out that after looking back at photos, she is confident about her body, but can periodically slip into a negative headspace.

“I still sometimes have this f***ing loop in my head that’s like, ‘You’re fat,’” Cavallari confessed. “I have to stop myself and be like, ‘Oh, my God, you look the best you ever had.’”

She explained that she tries to tell herself, “If you could talk to 18-year-old Kristin, and be like, ‘Look what we’re going to look like when we’re 38!’” she’d be so impressed.

Cavallari added that she needed to “just stop” being so down on herself, telling her podcast listeners to give themselves grace, too.

Kristin Davis is opening up about her past struggles with body image — and what her Sex and the City costar Sarah Jessica Parker had to say about it. In the Monday, August 11, episode of her “Are You a Charlotte” podcast, Davis, 60, admitted to having a “thinness” issue while filming the beloved HBO […]

“You never know how someone is thinking and feeling,” she said, making it clear she does know what she looks like and how fit she is.

Cavallari, however, said it’s not the mirror that is deceiving her, it’s her mind. “It’s this negative loop in my head though that will creep in sometimes,” she revealed.

The Hills alum explained that because of her past negative thoughts continually haunt her, she has shifted her thought process.

“What I’ve told myself in the last few years is, ‘You have your dream body. Like enough already,’” Cavallari said, admitting that body image issues have “been a negative loop for me that’s been really hard for me to change.”

In addition to trying to up her positive self-talk, Cavallari said she has embraced eating clean while allowing herself grace when she falters.

“I used to eat shitty, and I would beat myself up. I would feel so guilty,” she recalled, noting that she would shame herself which would “make it worse.”

After welcoming her three children, Cavallari said she “developed a real sense of freedom around food” and learned that if she has an off day with food to just “move on from it.” (Cavallari shares sons Camden, 13, and Jaxon, 11, and daughter Saylor, 9, with ex-husband Jay Cutler.)

The post’s first slide featured a mirror selfie Bristowe took […]

She pointed out that it makes life “way more enjoyable” not to harp on so-called bad food choices and just do your best.

“My point is, I was so strict with myself and then I would binge eat and eat everything and anything. I was so mad at myself. I never looked that great,” she shared. “Where now I have a real freedom around food and I’m able to enjoy whatever it is I want to enjoy and then get back to my normal eating routine. I don’t guilt myself.”

Cavallari concluded, “I look and feel the best I ever have. I really think there’s something to that.”
